<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Here is a short summary of our =
experience with
between the beam and below the beam humidifier installations. Both =
work
well in environments that are not exposed to drafts. Drafts can =
decrease
the effectiveness of the humidifier in below the beam
installations.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>A humidifier mounted between the =
beams needs
roughly an inch of free space surrounding it to get adequate air flow so =
that it
functions properly. This is why the smaller grand tank (short =
tank)
is most frequently used for between the beam installations =
in smaller
grand pianos. Finally, between the beams installations are less =
visible,
and this does make a difference to many piano owners.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>There was also a question about dual =
humidifier
Climate Control Systems </FONT><FONT face=Arial
size=2>Dual humidifier systems provide more even moisture =
distribution than
single humidifier systems, even in very small grand pianos. =
This can
be useful in pianos which exhibit extreme pitch =
instability.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thus, in choosing a Climate Control =
System
and the method for the humidifier installation, one must consider =
the
environment external to the piano, the space available for a =
between the
beams installation of the humidifier, and whether the piano owner =
is
willing to see the humidifier tank(s) hanging below the =
piano.</FONT></DIV>
